  <dc:description>Letter from Josiah Wedgwood to Erasmus Darwin. The letter discusses  a public campaign to gather support for obtaining an Act of Parliament necessary for the improvement or construction of a "navigation" or canal. Mentions Worsley and the Manchester area as well as the Duke of Bridgewater, which indicates that the letter may refer to the Bridgewater Canal, which was constructed to enable the transportation of coal from Worsley to Manchester.</dc:description>
